Flooded terrain in Terra Sabaea (extra-detail mgnf - MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)
|
The smooth surfaces of the flows are punctuated by curved, subparallel fractures oriented transverse to the flow direction.
These cracks resemble crevasses in terrestrial glaciers and were formed when the brittle solid crust of the flow fractured as it was dragged downstream. Detailed images such as this will help determine the role ice may have played in these flows.
